If it's never our fault, we can't take responsibility for it. If we can't take responsibility for it, we'll always be its victim.

The way you can be careful of the catastrophe that success can bring is by paying attention to something else that comes along with success - responsibility.

We always blame other people when things go wrong. For example, family to friends, you think they'll stay by your side, and you realise they never do. But that's life.

Some people do really find fault like there's a reward for it.

Concern yourself more with accepting responsibility than with assigning blame. Let the possibilities inspire you more than the obstacles discourage you.

The value of catastrophic events is that they can help people face up to problems that are otherwise impossible to address.

What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed, people will not know who is responsible.

People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.

The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.
